Today we would like to introduce you to InstaDeep, another startup that will be on stage at Infineon Technologies #Startup Day in #Dresden (June 18th). 💡What is the problem you are solving? Traditional PCB routing and placement processes require significant manual effort and expertise, leading to lengthy development cycles. This problem is compounded by the increasing complexity of PCB designs, which can contain thousands of components and nets. As a result, PCB designers often face significant challenges in meeting time-to-market and cost targets.   🔍 What is your solution? DeepPCB is an AI-powered PCB router that automates and accelerates the PCB design process. DeepPCB uses deep reinforcement learning to learn routing PCBs, enabling it to generate high-quality routing solutions. DeepPCB also features an intuitive user interface that makes it easy for PCB designers to upload designs, as well as analyze and download routed boards.   🤖 How is your solution revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing? DeepPCB is revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing by: ●Accelerating design cycles: DeepPCB can generate high-quality routing solutions in a matter of a few hours, significantly reducing the time required to complete a PCB design and allowing designers to focus on parts of the routing that matter the most. ●PCB Design Rules: DeepPCB's solutions are DRC-clean, meaning that the routings can be considered for manufacturing. This includes respecting different clearances and wire widths. ●Empowering innovation: DeepPCB gives PCB designers the opportunity to discover new routing strategies for their designs, which can lead to improved product performance and reduced costs.

🏗️ 👍 The #SmartPowerFab continues to take shape at Infineon Technologies in #Dresden. Especially the so called waffle tables that form the floor of the cleanroom are more and more visible. They are characterized by the numerous, large holes in the concrete floor that allow the air to flow out of the cleanroom into the level below. Filters are later placed in the level above to cleanse the air and return it to the production area. This is an important cycle to keep the cleanroom free of particles – so that the processing of the delicate wafers can run smoothly.

Apple supplier Luxshare acquires #German #auto supplier LEONI in diversification bid 💡 With #iPhone sales in the Greater #China region slumping in the first half of 2024 under fierce competition from Chinese #smartphone brands, companies in #Apple's #supplychain have been seeking to diversify from their dependence on the #Cupertino company. The iPhone maker has sunk to as low as fifth place in terms of sales in China. #Luxshare, for example, has been expanding into the #electricvehicle (#EV) and #communication sectors, and recently acquired a 50.1% stake of the German auto supplier LEONI AG, as well as 100% of its wholly-owned subsidiary Leoni Kabel GmbH (Leoni K), in a deal totaling roughly EUR525 million (approx. US$561.75 million). In addition to Luxshare, others in the Apple supply chain—including Lens Technology, Ofilm, Sunwoda, and Dongshan Precision Manufacturing—have sought to diversify their businesses in recent years.

ZF Group to quit Wolfspeed's #German chip project, says industry source - #ZF planned to invest $185 mln in #Saarland plantWolfspeed postponed - project due to weak demand, source says German automotive supplier ZF (ZFF.UL) intends to withdraw from a planned $3 billion microchip manufacturing project with U.S. chipmaker Wolfspeed in western #Germany, an industry source said on Tuesday. The rethink followed #Wolfspeed's decision to put the project on hold because of weaker than expected #semiconductor demand and doubts whether its entry into the #European market would be worthwhile, the source told Reuters.

Yole Group Viewpoint – Powering the future: #Semiconductor solutions for #automotive #electrification 💡 - by Yole Group We cannot hide that #BEV growth has slowed in all 3 major markets, although we see different root causes. As shown in the adoption of BEV among different customer groups, #China is leading the trend. Although the major #EV markets are experiencing slow growth of BEVs, we are seeing a new wave powered by the 800V adoption, >3C fast charging batteries, and high-power DC chargers. Power #electronics, especially #SiC, are one of the key drivers. Remarkably, China has entered the early majority phase, while both #Europe and the #USA are still in early adopter phases, having not yet crossed ‘The chasm’ into majority customer markets. We conclude that the slowdown in China is mainly due to technological limitations in the #battery. While BEVs can satisfy most user scenarios, they are still challenging in cold weather and long-distance driving (people still remember the hours or even days of standing still in storms during the Chinese New Year holidays). For Europe and the US alike, where wealthy early adopters are the base of EV adoption, however, the hefty price gap between BEV and its ICE counterpart still keeps these 2 markets from a large majority. We conclude that the slowdown in both Europe and the US is mainly due to #battery #supplychain limitations, which still lack local production and cost competitiveness.

Vector enables the power of Infineon`s AURIX™ TC4x cyber security features #Infineon #Semiconductor #ChipManufacturing #Automotive 12 April 2024 – The rapidly growing connectivity of vehicles offers numerous opportunities for new, innovative automotive functionalities. At the same time, the potential for cyber-attacks on vehicle networks is increasing. It is therefore of great importance for car manufacturers and suppliers to implement appropriate security measures to ensure the safety of vehicles and passengers. Infineon and Vector are working together to further enhance automotive cybersecurity. Vector's AUTOSAR Classic embedded software MICROSAR Classic supports Infineon's new AURIX™ TC4x microcontroller (MCU) family.

𝟰𝟬𝟬 𝗩 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗦𝗶𝗖 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗙𝗘𝗧𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 When Infineon Technologies announced 400 V SiC MOSFETs there was a lot of discussion about which applications will be addressed with these. Now it is clear that they are targeted for next-generation #AI server power supplies. Engineering samples are now available and will go into series production starting in October 2024. The new MOSFET portfolio was specially developed for use in the AC/DC stage of AI servers, complementing Infineon’s recently announced PSU roadmap. The devices are also ideal for solar and energy storage systems (ESS), inverter motor control, industrial and auxiliary power supplies (SMPS) as well as solid-state circuit breakers for residential buildings. The new MOSFET portfolio comprises a total of 10 products: five R(DS(on)) classes from 11 to 45 mΩ in Kelvin-source TOLL and D²PAK-7 packages with .XT package interconnect technology. The drain-source breakdown voltage of 400 V makes them ideal for use in 2- and 3-level converters and for synchronous rectification. “We are committed to supporting our customers with advanced products such as the CoolSiC MOSFETs 400 V G2 to drive the highest energy efficiency in advanced AI applications”, said Richard Kunčič, Head of the Power Systems Business Line at Infineon. https://lnkd.in/dBTyaigb #siliconcarbide #artificialintelligence
